E coupe
anystream didn't work for me
my 2 cents on the cartronics anystream:
2012 e coupe so very new firmware. I used the ipod connector cable which i verified as being the one 'supported' by cartonics (Mercedes part number A 001 827 82 04) http://www.cartronics.com/POM.html
My phone, htc desire hd running android 2.3, connects fine to the anystream and the led on the anystream flashes once every 6 seconds suggesting the connection phone<--->anystream is fine.
However the media interface on the car is stuck at 'activating device' and nothing else happens.
For the record, I called anystream and they took my call and were very polite. However the suggested 'solution' is to go and buy a composite av cable with authentication chip from apple to connect the anystream via usb - this costs very close to the price i paid for the anystream. With this in mind I may have opted for a different solution (like the motorolla gateway). I am also in Cyprus so sending it back is not really an option/feasible/cost effective. Thus I'm left with a $80 square of plastic. I may eventually go buy the composite cable but at this point i'm weary

I tried to edit the original post but cant so I have to quote instead.
NOTE: fwiw cartronics.com are "good people" - even after my negative review and after some back/forth with them - they are still responding to my questions. I believe their 100% money back guarantee. I understand that many people have had success with this product. I'm in the process of trying to source an apple usb cable 'with authentication chip' (the apple store won't deliver to my country and not sure that the ones on ebay/amazon have the 'apple authentication chip' built in which is what I need). If I get my hands on one and try it out I'll post back here.

bought mine from ebay 42$
avoid cartronics full of liars, i ordered the any stream 4 months ago from them. they told me it was in stock and it would ship it next day. 1 week later and nothing. so i call again and they tell me that they ran out. i ask them how long they say 2 weeks. so 2 weeks go buy and nothing. so i call again and them tell me that they will be in at the end of the month.. still nothing!!! then they tell me its delayed because of some Chinese holiday. so i waited another few weeks and nothing. i call up and cancelled at this point. i have enough of there crap. besides the modules on ebay are 1/2 the cost of cartronics and perform without a problem

Thank you for your comment.... yes we are very proud of our reputation. Of course it is nearly impossible to please everyone all the time... but we sure try. Sometimes supply lines get clogged and things do go on backorder, but that is true of every market.
